California gas prices down another 4 cents since last week
WALNUT CREEK (December 5, 2024) -- This should top everyone’s wish list; California gas prices have dropped 4 cents since last week. The statewide average is $4.38 a gallon, 40 cents lower than this time last year.
Like a glacier grinding its way to the sea, the national average for a gallon of gas is closing in on the $3 mark, shedding three cents since last week to $3.03. It has been less than a dime away from $3 for over a month as the waffling decline has been agonizingly slow. The last time the national average was below $3 was May 11, 2021. Meanwhile, today's national average for a kilowatt of electricity at a public EV charging station remained 34 cents.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gasoline demand rose slightly from 8.50 million b/d last week to 8.73. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose slightly from 212.2 million barrels to 214.6, while gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.5 million barrels per day.
Today’s national average for a gallon of gas is $3.03, seven cents less than a month ago and 19 cents less than a year ago.
